Appreciate the catch, Maxx. You're right that we have a 'vanguard' of older EVs like the Leaf (2010+) and even some early Model S units hitting that 12-15 year mark. The real statistical 'hiccup' is the volume disparity. In 2011, there were about 10k Leafs sold in the US vs. 12 million ICE...

Well, they have been making Nissan Leafs since 2010.

Here's some data I pulled off the web regarding the percentage of fires per type of vehicle. EVs get more coverage in the news because the fires are harder to put out. From the Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and international studies (2024–2026) Vehicle Type/Fires per 100,000 SoldEstimated...

This is off-the-charts crazy. Glad everyone is safe now and unharmed! Just a random thought. I noticed you live in an area where snow occurs. I know that water + salt + electricity = conductivity. I wonder if some salt got somehow into the battery enclosure and shorted something out? I hope...

Gas 33 1/3 cents at the Flying A at Yoe's Triangle bar and gas station (lined with hypnotic beer advertisement lights around the ceiling). Dad spent a lot of time there and kids at the bar were A-OK. I remember there was an ice house in town. The library was a little room in center of town...

I remember when gas was 33 1/3 cents per gallon. I guess that was so 3 gallons would be close to $1, and it stayed that way for a very long time. I was a kid, though, and time itself seemed to go on for an eternity.

Having read all that, it seems that more robust, lightweight batteries and improved charging infrastructure would be a much better long-term solution. Just more stuff to go haywire if you're towing a trailer with as much sophistication as the vehicle you're driving - not to mention the cost of...

You had me with "...I'm from Norway...".

Windshield wiper mount adaptor for different model vehicles.

Does this look like it?

On my '23 Lariat (delivered 1/16/24), it says trial expires on 1/16/27. After that date, I apparently have two choices: I can pay $49 per month (or prepay $495 per year), or I can choose "choose another plan." The details in this choice state that I can get 1 free year for $0, and there is a...

It's all in the court of public opinion. It wasn't long ago when people would buy Lightnings at MSRP and sell them for over $100K. As an example, my old Chevy Volt keeps bouncing up and down in value (I get emails all the time from Carvana) depending on the above-mentioned public opinion. This...

Thanks. I wonder if they make something that attaches between the rear of the truck and the front of the trailer to make the whole rig basically one object moving through the airstream. Something stretchy and yet able to deflect air?

I don't own a trailer, but I wonder how a hi-low type trailer fares in terms of the percentage of range loss?

Looks like an X-Ray of an aliens spine.

I'm happy you're here too, Brian! I used to be a Network Administrator and a programmer. I can say I definitely would like to see the nerdy stuff and be more informed about OTA updates. Anti-glare headlight settings for all would be nice. Real leather covering the entire seat (I have the Lariat...

I know what everyone's thinking on the name...or maybe it's just me.
